I read with amusement an article authored by SaCut Amenga � Etego with the titled �An apology of a democratic congress � a polling agent�s narration on peacefmonline.com on 26th of July 2011. The author first of all sought to discredit the entire electoral process, undermine the electorates and creates the impression that only the first family and he are the reliance and bold persons in the NDC party, if not Ghana. First he seems to complain about intimidation claiming that �the town had been besieged by armed police and military men wielding machine guns in their legions among the people�. In his mind such action by the commander-in-chief translated into fear in them. �I imagine if I were a delegate coming from rural Ghana and unfamiliar with this large presence of security forces � obviously deployed by the commander � in � chief, president Mills to put fear into us- thereby affecting our voting decision�. My question is how this could influence civilized persons including the author, especially when his camp is using a political edict akin to BE BOLD and particularly when they have nothing to conceal. He also accuses hon. E.T. Mensah of leading a team to deface posters of Nana Konadu because her (Nana Konadu) posters were more visible at the main gate of the coronation park. This is admittance to the fact that they also spent quite a huge sum of money contrary to the ubiquitous spread that it�s only the Mills� camp that is spending so much. Whiles the Mills� camp is busily sharing money to delegates, they (Konadus� camp) are also seriously investing in posters to make their candidate more visible at the congress grounds. This is the same group of persons who accused the president and his team of spending recklessly huge money; all of a sudden they can�t even print more posters to silhouette that of their opponent. He also alleges that they had information �from different directions and especially from delegates about various forms of inducement and manipulative tactics G.A.M.E. had adopted towards the delegates in order to win the congress by the hook or the crook�. These suggest to me that the author believe the information is undoubtedly credible especially coming from delegates. This same author per the said article described delegates as unreasonable, that they do not have the capacity to decipher and draw fine distinction and can be easily and economically be bought even to their own detriment to vote in a particular direction. Out rightly pitiable� Boorishly, claiming custody of information, he again alleges that delegates were promised by the Mills� agent that they will be taken to Switzerland for an ILO conference.� several hundred delegates were given this promise even though such a conference will normally have not more than fifteen (15) delegate from every country� suggesting to me that delegates are not abreast with issues, narrow-minded and they don�t even know that every country provides not more than fifteen (15) persons. I find it pretty difficult to understand the same person who thinks delegates are not discerning enough to read between the lines, to expect these same people to vote for his candidate. If indeed delegates do not have this information and somebody would have play on their intelligence, clearly you are telling the whole world the class of delegates the NDC have. �Some delegates began to request the NANA KONADU campaign team to also come forth with our own inducement and bribes�. �Our principled candidate stood her grounds and refused to fall into their trap. After all, as she kept repeating, this contest is not about her. It is about the party, the ordinary people and the structures. Why must she pay to rescue the party?� An indication which seems to me that you admit that the delegates themselves are not �PRINCIPLED� and so is still astonishing why you think these unprincipled delegates will vote for your �PRINCIPLED CANDIDATE�. Regrettably he also said that those who cast their vote to choose president Mills cannot be considered delegates in the true sense of the world. �They cannot convince some of us that their decision to vote the way they did, and the malpractices they engaged in during voting process was primarily in the interest of their constituencies�. At this point, his ignorance and antediluvian dogma of a delegate has been unambiguously exhibited. Again the author appears to discredit and disrespect the delegates he had wish and indeed wanted to vote for his candidate. If the children (NDC delegates) are so insincere, not expensive, self centered and could not be trusted, could it be that probably it�s in the DNA of their parents? �I don�t know about everyone else but I begun to be afraid of what Mills and his team had planned to do to win the congress when the national security coordinator col. Larry Lartey suddenly appeared that Saturday morning at the NDC founder�s hotel ostensibly to determine itinerary�. THIS IS THE BOLD PERSON WHO IS INSPIRED BY A BOLD LEADER. I fail to reconcile the BOLDNESS of the author to the fear he entertain when he saw the national security coordinator. This is one of the characteristics of an intrepid who is inspired by a BOLD woman. I�m sure it would have been disastrous if he had followed a timid candidate to meet this situation. Interestingly he could not realize his contradictions and actually taught he was making a lot of sense. He accused the MC for the congress and his team of orchestrating the cold reception received by the founder of the party and the intonation. Assuming this pugnacious claim is true, why did it work? Are delegates and members of the party people not reasonable enough? If the majority of the party people responded to the schemers plan to ignore the founder, could they be right? Why did they agree to treat the founder the way they did? Or the minority who did not fall to the schemers plan could probably be the BOLD and wise party people who have the party at heart? Could the majority be wrong and minority be right? These are the questions he should be asking himself. Instead of asking himself why the usual tumultuous applause was missing, he will rather, for unfathomable reasons cast aspersions. Clearly SaCut Amenga-Etego is a confused jingoistic supporter of the former first family. He also intimated that the MC was selected by President Mills and his GAME team including the DJ and fully controlled the accreditation. The electoral committee of the party was also made up of Mills supporters and only one Nana Konadu supporter. At this juncture the confusion of the author has escalated. Clearly exhibiting his ignoramus penchant which is completely inalienable. I�m sure he would have been happy if Sir John and his team handled the accreditation process, RAS Mubarak for DJ, Dela Coffie and Owusu Bempah for MCs, Kofi Adams and the NPP electoral committee to handle the elections since no member from the Mills camp can be trusted. However I am not too surprise, sometimes when we allow our emotions to stultify our ability to think, we end up with unfathomably to cloud our ignominious defeat. Instead of the author spending time and contributing to the peace process in the party, he wants to be tagged as �DIE HARD� supporter of the former first family. As if in the search of peace the one who claim has been embittered does not have equal responsibility to ensure peace. At least the founder�s posture was fantastic to peace making even though the loser (the founders� wife) body language was unnecessarily negative. He also had issues with DCEs and ministers who stood for president Mills as polling agents. He thinks they were there to ensure that delegates comply with certain things they have been ask to do. My question still remains the same if delegates indeed know that the actions by DCEs and ministers are fraud, inimical to the party fortunes and completely unacceptable, why did they fall into it. I find it difficult why SaCut Amenga-Etego will indirectly impugn credibility challenge to his own party delegates. What is the DNA of the NDC party? Are all these delegates alien to the party? If yes why did you go to them in the first place? �I told myself she didn�t lose, the party did.� The party failed to be rescued, but the point of principle has been established. This is the same argument NPP use to make, that Ghanaians failed to be rescued and all NDC members including people from the authors camp join in castigating them(NPP) that they can�t even show diminutive respect for the Ghanaian voter. Politics should be based on principles not personalities. I find it extremely amazing for the author to describe NDC party supporters as timid party supporters who cannot face their opponents in 2012. If the father of the party could not instill appreciable level of boldness in his children and allow them to be ill with abject trepidation, �NA WHO CAUSE AM�. Can we say the father himself is not BOLD after all? It would be helpful if the author subject himself to psychological lessons at least to know how these things works. It is not entirely possible for a plucky man to give birth to virtually timorous children and no one could take him including himself (SaCut Amenga-Etego). In conclusion I want the author (polling agent) to know that if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. Peace and unity cannot be achieved in the party through violence, casting aspersions etc, it can only be attained through dialogue and understanding. �Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me�.
